Hollow victory if...

UEFA’s revamp of the Champions League still goes ahead, which basically secures entry to the competition based on previous results.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/56771500

This idea was born about to appease “big clubs" and isn’t a million miles from the very thing people have been upset about the last couple of days.

Hopefully, the collapse of a ESL means there’s no need for the revamp to go ahead. If it doesn’t, brilliant and we can get back to something like normality, if it does, then not a great deal has changed, imo.

As predicted the clubs u-turn and UEFA promise to look at the situation of a kind of super league in the confines of their current tournament.

None of the clubs can claim any moral high ground and the leadership at the clubs have to consider how our of touch they are with fans.

Only winners in this whole saga is UEFA, no one else
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The older fans are the REAL winners.
Those who played the game, and know the game, and value the history of the game.
They win today, and tomorrow, and for ever!
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ted, nobody wins, you still have the likes of Abrahamovich, Mansour, UEFA, the Prem still skewing football in the favour of a few.

Let's not make out the likes of UEFA and Sky are on the side of the fans, they are,as greedy as anybody else.

No the real winners are us as this means you’re more than likely to disappear off these boards again after being made to look a fool yet again!

From UEFAs point of view, this was never about the sanctity of competition. That was just how they span it for PR. It was ALWAYS about money, and how much of the billions football generates ends up in the pockets of UEFA.

They won't care if they end up making the CL exactly the same kind of closed shop that the ESL was supposed to be. As long as it puts more money in their pockets.
